Something being offensive is all in the eye of the beholder.
I'm not offended by simple words such as those found in NPC dialog, whether it's them or players speaking them. but I am offended when people label me with wrong intentions and act like I was out to purposefully offend others. I am offended when people treat me like I was some jerk. I am offended when the first one who say "you're offensive" is automatically the victim even when they're just being stuck-up and I feel bullied when someone calls me offensive and everyone else take their side against me because the "offensive" label was thrown out.
Not that I care much... but it's on topic and I believe it's worth pointing out as I'm sure I'm not the only one like this.
Note: Words don't offend me... but I AM sensitive about certain topics. However, rather than ask people to stop talking, I simply stop reading. I feel asking people to stop discussing something is egotistical and goes against freedom of speech... unless a majority is uneasy with the talk of a few, then it's simply more practical for the few to take their conversation elsewhere.
